Genesis introduces new shear line.

Superior, Wisc.-based Genesis Attachments has introduced the XP MAXX line of mobile shears in response to customer demand for a shear that provides large-scale results on a smaller-class machine, according to the company.

Shane Kuhlmey, national sales manager for Genesis, says the MAXX line of shears uses innovative design and manufacturing technology to provide power usually found in larger shears.

"By utilizing a superior design of the shear body--in essence overbuilding the body--we are able to install a much larger cylinder and increase the stroke of that cylinder," Kuhlmey says.

The GXP 660 MAXX shear is for use on excavators in the 70,000-pound class, and the GXP 990 MAXX is for use with 100,000-pound excavators.

According to Genesis, the 660 MAXX provides cutting forces generally found in shears used on 100,000 excavators, and the 990 MAXX provides the cutting power and speed of shears typically mounted on 125,000-pound excavators. Both models also feature Genesis' patented bolt-on piercing tip, dual guide blades and four identical, four-way indexable blades to minimize maintenance-related downtime.

Genesis Attachments, a Paladin company, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of hydraulic attachments for demolition, scrap processing, reconstruction, utility and material handling operations.
